The best area to stay in Westwood is the City Centre, particularly around Victoria Street and the surrounding blocks.


This area is the heart of Westwood, offering a concentration of premium hotels, upscale dining, and high-end shopping. Victoria Street itself is a main thoroughfare, bustling during the day but becoming quieter in the evenings, making it convenient for access to everything. You'll find many of the city's top attractions within easy walking distance, including the Westwood Art Gallery and the historic Town Hall.


For couples looking for a sophisticated and convenient base, the City Centre is an excellent choice. You'll be steps away from fine dining experiences, boutique shops, and cultural venues. Many hotels in this area boast excellent amenities, from rooftop bars with impressive city views to spas and high-end fitness equipment.


Solo travellers who appreciate quality and convenience will also find the City Centre ideal. It's well-connected by public transport, making it simple to explore further afield, and there are plenty of cafes and eateries great for a relaxed meal or a quick coffee.

The best time to go to Westwood is during the shoulder seasons of autumn (March to May) and spring (September to November), when the weather is pleasantly mild and the crowds are smaller.


During autumn, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions. The trees around Lake Westwood turn beautiful shades of red and gold, which is lovely for walks and photography. Many of the local vineyards also have their harvest festivals during this period.


Spring offers similar agreeable weather, with temperatures generally between 18°C and 28°C. This is when the native wildflowers are in bloom, especially noticeable in the Westwood Botanical Gardens and along the walking trails of the Blue Gum National Park. It's an excellent time for those who enjoy hiking and seeing nature flourish.
